Answer:

They must mix

37 pounds of the House Blend

3 pounds of the Kenya Blend.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be House coffe and 'y' be Kenya Coffee. Then:

10.50x + 12.80y = 10.67(40)

Also, we knw that:

x + y = 40

Solving the system of equations above, we have that:

x ≈37.0435 ≈ 37 pounds

y ≈2.95652 ≈ 3 pounds

They must mix

37 pounds of the House Blend

3 pounds of the Kenya Blend.

The ratio of John's money to Jimmy's money is 5:8. Jimmy spent 1/4
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

a. $3600

b. 6:5

Step-by-step explanation:

Put the question into an equation:

8x - 1/4 x 8x = 5x + 450

(simplify before solving) 6x = 5x + 450

(solve) 6x-5x = 450

x = 450

This means that Jimmy had 8 x 450 $ to start with = 3600

you can check this by subtracting a quarter of 3600 from 3600 and also multiplying 450 by 5 and then obtaining their difference. You get 450!

Now ratio of new amounts:

Jimmy now has: $2700

John still has: $2250

so ratio is 2700:2250

simplify to 6:5

Hope this helps
